Always loved Buzz, my favorite astronaut.

Buzz Aldrin slams 'First Man' movie controversy, posts photos of US flag on moon with 'Proud to be American' hashtag

A movie? This is about a movie?

LOL...big, fucking deal.

Some movie did not post a picture of an American flag. Who gives a shit? Just don't watch the movie.

Leave it to FOX to try and make a mountain out of nothing.

Most FoxNews viewers are OLD. And most older Americans (especially cons) look at the flag as some God-given thing.

It ain't. It's a piece of cloth and is worth absolutely nothing. It's just an inanimate object.


When I was in the reserves - I barely cared about the flag then. And I care even less about it now.

It is NOTHING but an inanimate object.


All the fucking misery in the world...and all you people (and the once, great astronaut, Buzz Aldrin) can think to do is get worked up about a flag missing from a movie? No wonder the worked is so messed up.

If ewe don’t give a shit why dew ewe keep jumping into every thread on the subject?

It is almost like there is some deep symbolic meaning to the Flag.


A meaning the he opposes and has to fight against.

Neil Armstrong said “one giant leap for mankind,” not “one giant leap for America.”

And then he planted the American Flag! Long may she wave!

Because it was a giant step for mankind, and America made took that step.

Neil Armstrong said “one giant leap for mankind,” not “one giant leap for America.”

Regardless, as has been repeatedly pointed out, this was all about America being first, and planting the flag first.

The whole movie is about Americans. It’s cool that America was first, and it’s something to be proud of, but it’s much bigger in the grand scheme than just being a race between two petty superpowers.

YOu might consider the Cold War a petty conflict.

Most people are sane, though.

Obviously it was a gigantic scientific and engineering achievement, no one could ever claim different.
However, the entire goal was 100% fueled by a race to see who could be first.

Look at the timeline, which really was beyond belief. America's first manned flight, which wasn't even a flight that obtained orbit, was only eight years before landing two men on the moon.

Think about that for a moment. We went from a tiny manned Redstone rocket, to the massive Saturn 5 in just eight years.

That was an accelerated achievent that is unparrelled.

Plenty of documentaries about this or American propaganda pieces about it and other things for you to watch instead if you want. I suspect this movie was made with greater ambition than just appealing to butthurt American conservatives.

You are implying that liberals don't care to see one of America's greatest achievements celebrated?

Interesting.

It is a wonder that the Liberal Hollywood assholes didn't do the movie with the the astronaut being Nellie Armstrong, a Black woman who was sent there by the UN. Nellie had to fight her way aboard the spacecraft against White racist engineers.
